Why did God create different races and different languages?

Question

this could be a possible origin of racism then...

Answer 1

God had nothing to do with it. Genetic differences arise from separation of populations; some time, a few tens of thousands of years ago, humans migrated from Africa to Europe and to Asia, and separated by distance and natural disasters (e.g., ice ages) did not intermarry. Evolution happened, as it always does, and the populations wound up being somewhat different.

Answer 2

The language thing was covered by their "Tower of Babel" myth, where humans got together to build a tower to climb into heaven. God was afraid of this so he made people speak different languages.

While it says nothing about race, people like to pretend it includes race too.

The reality of course is that people and language evolved over long periods of time, with language itself (being memetic instead of genetic) evolving at a much quicker pace.


>>"That 1% or more or less people that are aetheist understand that nothing outside our dimensions (1,2,3,4) can affect us."

You may be surprised how many there actually are... Atheists populations are generally understated as many have to hide for fear of persecution. The difference is that atheists don't typically collect into groups, they're too independent minded and it's similar to herding cats.

In America 10-14% of the population is agnostic/atheist, and in the world the numbers are much higher... There are 1.1 billion agnostics/atheists/non-believers in the world today, and most civilized first world countries (such as Europe, Australia, Japan etc.) are either secular in government or predominantly atheist in population.

Answer 3

After the flood, Noah's children multiplied to thousands. They all spoke the same language and look very much alike. But they worked together to do evil.

So God created different languages.
These people gathered in groups according to their language and after several more generations they developed different culture and became different races.

Man continues to work evil, now it is often against other races.

Answer 4

he didnt create races in and of themselves, at the tower of babal, the plan was not to build a tower to reach heaven but instead to defy Gods command to disperse and fill the earth; esentially, a huge apartment complex. when their speech was confused, they had no choice but to spread out. upon moving out and moving to different climates, evolved is the wron word but they developed different skin tones, darker depending on the sun exposure, to resist sunburn (although the eskimoes have darker skin so that is a small jab into evolution, the north gets little sunlight) but as they spread out, some would have had more technology than others. those with more would have eventually given into temptation to opress the others without, or racism.

Answer 5

The spirit of mankind is vast. No single race
could express or represent the entire concept of humanity. Each race represents
a characteristic or an aspect of the entire
'blueprint' of being human. Mankind, with its
diverse nationalities and languages, when seen as a single unit is...
Well, you'll just have to see for yourself because you'd never believe me if I told you.

Answer 6

I'm sorry you feel that way Odero. . . but here is what i believe.
in Genesis chapter 11, we're told that the Earth was of one language. the people desided to build a city of brick and ". . . build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto the heaven. . ." and the Lord diliked the way in which the people sought to find him and heaven, so he confounded their language and scattered them. they were unable to speak to each other to finish the city, and so the city is called Babel.
THIS EVENT IS NOT THE SOURCE OF RACISM. Racism was created by human wars and slavery, not by God.
>>>>>I'm sorry you all feel that you have to bash Christian all the time. i hope you'll soon switch from bashing to rational debating.<<<<<<<

Answer 7

God created different races and languages because He loves creativity. That's what I believe is one of the positive things about it.
I also think that Satan had orginally tried this to split up humans but God made it good in how the different cultures can now praise Him in their different ways.

Answer 8

All the races derived from one bloodline Adam and Eve. Languages changed when all the people were uniting and God saw problems arising.

Answer 9

God made Adam and Eve. What colour were they? don't know, don't care.

Noah named his sons Ham (meaning dark), Shem (meaning middle skin) and Japheth (fair). The Bible also gives accounts of which peoples descended from these sons. Ham's children were darker (black, likely aboriginals as well), Shem's children were middle skin (Jews, Arabs), and Japhet's were likely light skinned (white, mediterranian). What their wives were like, we don't know. Maybe genes from the wives produced other races.

languages were disorted at Babel (which sounds like the Hebrew word for chatter), and then people adopted, cultivated and molded them.

racism is just one kind of man thinking he's superior to another, because of his race. God never said this was right.

Answer 10

Because mankind was coming together and trying to build a tower that would reach heaven and God said "nope" and caused a division among them so they couldn't operate as a team like they were before. This is exactly were races and languages came from.
